TO DO IN NEW YORK: TRICK OR TREAT ON WEST 69TH STREET

every year the west 69th street association puts on this huge old block party for halloween. all of the brownstones get all dressed up in their spookiest and families come from all over the island to trick or treat. it gets pretty crazy pretty fast.

we went last year when huck was just five days old and within ten minutes i thought i'd lost my husband forever. brandon went on to have a grand solo halloween adventure, in which he saw tina fey IN PERSON.

this year we saw mariska hargitay and you know what, it's just not the same.

after the party it's the afterparty at trader joe's. groceries, what what!

That looks Like so much fun. I feel like Halloween is hugely disappointing without children, but I could be wrong. Maybe I'm the only Childless school girl who stayed home with her man in anticipation of the TWO children who actually showed up to take her candy?

i wish we had a warm costume for our baby boy...instead we accidentally bought him a girl's outfit...how we didn't figure this out until we put it on him, i'll never know. but huck - SO adorable! Smoking Crayolas Blogspot

I'm so totally there next year, that looks like fun (and conveniently, juuuuust across the park from me)! And next year my little one may actually suffer being awake past 6pm and seeing all the fun costumes, this years she was so.over.it ;)

Oh that lion costume is precious-fierce. I can't decide which so there's a hyphen for ya. And that dress is neither gingham nor reminiscent of the 1800s, so that girl was crazy. very Lucy, especially the collar!
